Hmm, looks like Ipsy may have ditched the BoxyCharm name from its subscription box of full-size products. I guess they found that the BoxyCharm name wasn’t adding anything. Makes sense to me. Anyway, I received my subscription box yesterday. Since I get my box every other month, I unfortunately forgot that I was getting a …
PR Sample, Affiliate Links I love using all kinds of essences, and this one from Korean skincare brand Abib is a “horse of a different color”!

Their mission is to help inspire confidence through skincare products …
There’s been a lot of buzz lately about the new Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask. I have really, really dry lips, and though I can use “normal” lip balms during the summer, when the cold weather hits, Dr. Lipp Miracle Balm and Hanalei Lip Treatment work best for me (reviewed here and here). So before I …
Masqueology is a Korean sheet mask brand that I wrote about before Christmas. I recommended them as stocking stuffers or affordable small gifts. They’re available at Walmart, and at $2.50 a piece, they’re a really good deal. They have a pricier version sold at Dermstore. I’ve come across another Masqueology mask that I wanted to …
